Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - December/January 2024/2025 (Issue 110)

Rustic love Alice and Adam’s wedding at Ufton in Berkshire enjoyed a rustic, natural and romantic theme Images courtesy of Joshua Lawrence Alice and Adam met via a dating app. “Adam lived in Reading at the time, and I lived in London,” Alice tells us. “Our first date was at a pub in South London, and we immediately felt at ease, discovering that we shared plenty in common and a similar sense of humour. After our first date, Adam sent a message saying what a good time he had, and jokingly said he could see us doing a trip together to somewhere like Florence… fast forward three years, and he fulfilled that promise because we had our mini-moon there after our wedding!” Adam proposed to Alice after two years of dating. “He messaged me a week before while I was at work saying that we had won a trip to a cabin in a forest in Ticehurst, Kent,” Alice tells us. “I believed him because he had even photoshopped a screenshot of a confirmation email and sent it to me. On the Saturday during our stay there, Adam suggested that we go for a walk and have a picnic by the river close to our cabin. After we’d finished eating, we went back to the cabin where we sat outside taking in the sun. Adam then announced he wanted to take a photo of us walking towards the cabin. He set up his tripod and camera to capture the moment. As I started walking for the photo to be taken, he called my name and I turned around to find him on one knee proposing to me! It was such a special moment and a complete surprise, I still look back at the video now and remember the happiness I felt in that moment.” Here, Alice tells us all about their special day decorated with a natural, rustic-inspired theme. Alice Ebbatson and Adam Guppy married on the 30th of August 2024 at Ufton in Berkshire. 39 REAL WEDDINGS
